Question
Chapter 4, Problem 10TYPSS
Summary Introduction
To explain:
A model to illustrate how the two particles (a circle and a square) could be brought together by linking them to short single-stranded DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules.
Introduction:
The linking of two strands of DNA occurs by complementary base pairing. In the field of nanotechnology, DNA is used like Velcro to assemble tiny particles into structures that are < 0.0001 mm in size. If the DNA sequence linked to the circle is GGATC, then provide the sequence linked to the square and identify the 5′ and 3′ ends of each strand.
